  3. What does a World Café look like? • Like a café; scattered round tables that seat no more than you would have in a focus group (5 – 10) • Each table addresses a question related to overall theme of the World café • Each table has a facilitator, a note-taker (or recording device), and paper & pens for drawing

  4. How does a World Café work? • Participants spend 20 – 30 minutes at each table • Each ‘round’ of conversation builds on previous rounds • 3 – 5 ‘rounds’ of conversation followed by town hall discussion of topic

  5. How do I set up an effective World Café?
